A dead link on PyPI for the contributions and feedback

[galaxy4public]

I just stumbled upon Pelican's page in PyPI and found that the link for the contributions and feedback is dead. Perhaps, it needs to be updated?

Nice catch. If you look at the README.rst source, you'll see that the link isn't exactly dead but refers to a local file (CONTRIBUTING.rst) that sits alongside the README.rst file. I'm sure there is a better way to handle that link such that it works well in all cases, including on the PyPI project page, but I don't use reStructuredText enough to know how to handle that well.

Anyone know how to fix it appropriately?

README.rst is injected into the package while setup.py is running.

The contents could be transformed using something like README.replace("<CONTRIBUTING.rst>", "$ABSOLUTE_URL") or similar. (Likely $ABSOLUTE_URL will be the rendered file on Read the Docs.)

Thanks for the suggestion, Kurt. Any chance you might be willing to submit a pull request for this fix? 😊
